You have non-matched pistons.

They should read 1, 2, 3 and 4.. the order of fitment and firing. Don't use it like that as you will get 1 firing them three firing next with no 3 or 4 and will be lumpy as fook.
























Nah, I'm joking mate. Not a clue..but a free bump for ya.

They're a std sizing code that the factory use, IIRC.

correct, iirc cossie blocks were selected by no. 2 or 3 in the block size, pinto blocks could be 1-4!
